Examples of tests written to leverage electron-mocha

See original GitHub issue

Hello

It would be great if this project had an examples folder containing 2 tests (one for the main process, one for a renderer process) for testing a fictional Electron demo app.

At the moment I’m a bit stuck in my tests, not knowing how to go further than just testing pure CommonJS modules, that is all what is not specific to Electron. Some things I would like to do:

Test a renderer process HTML view
Test a renderer process JavaScript
Show a menu and activate a menu item

Thanks a lot

I have already read those https://github.com/jprichardson/electron-mocha/tree/master/test files, but they don’t answer to the questions:

How to test a renderer process HTML view (what HTML elements there are in the DOM document of the view)
How to test a renderer process JavaScript
How to show a menu and activate a menu item

Wouldn’t it better to leave this issue open until there are more meaningful examples?

I’m willing to provide (through a PR) the very simple Electron demo app and the 2 tests (for main and renderer) mentioned at the top if someone then provide me with guidance to craft meaningful tests. Are you interested?

As explained in details in #38 by @inukshuk, electron-mocha is just to run Mocha tests in Electron, not to test Electron apps.
